Baseball in Detroit is back in full swing, and the Tigers are roaring into late April and beyond. If you’re in Livonia, Michigan, and itching for some big-league action, you’re in for a treat. Whether you’re planning a Comerica Park trip or hunting for the best local spot to catch the games, here’s everything you need to know—served up with a side of wit and plenty of Tigers pride.
Mark Your Calendars: Tigers’ Upcoming Games (April 24 Onwards)
The Tigers’ schedule is packed with must-see matchups, and tickets are more affordable than a hot dog at the ballpark. Here’s a quick look at what’s coming up after April 24:
- Home Series vs. Chicago White Sox: Tickets start at just $9.
- Three-Game Showdown vs. New York Yankees: Tickets as low as $6 per game.
- Road Trips to Minnesota and Milwaukee: If you’re feeling adventurous, away game tickets can dip to $5.
- Back Home vs. Kansas City Royals: Tickets range from $6 to $17, so you can splurge on nachos.
- San Diego Padres, Baltimore Orioles, and more: The action keeps rolling with more home games and plenty of chances to see the Tigers in person or from your favorite seat at home.
Pro tip: If you’re looking to stretch your dollar, these early-season games are a steal. You might spend more at the concession stand than on your ticket.
